What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage in the inner pulp of a tooth. The infected tissue is removed, the area is cleaned and disinfected, and the space is filled and sealed.
RCT is the best option when:
- You have deep decay or cavities
- A tooth is cracked or injured
- There’s swelling or pus around the tooth
- You have lingering pain or sensitivity to hot/cold
For minor decay or surface cavities,
dental fillings may be enough instead of a root canal
Without root canal therapy, the only alternative is
tooth extraction — which may lead to additional treatments like bridges or implants.

Root Canal Treatment Process
1. Diagnosis & Digital X-ray
We examine your symptoms and take an X-ray to confirm the extent of infection.
2. Access & Cleaning
The infected pulp is removed, and the root canals are thoroughly cleaned using advanced rotary instruments.
3. Filling the Canals
The canals are sealed with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) to prevent re-infection.
4. Tooth Restoration
A crown or cap is placed on the treated tooth for long-term protection and aesthetics.
5. Follow-Up & Maintenance
We ensure complete healing and guide you on aftercare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is root canal treatment painful?
No. With modern anesthesia and rotary technology, RCT is virtually painless — most patients feel relief immediately after.
How long does a root canal take?
Single-visit RCT takes about 30–60 minutes. In some cases, we schedule two visits based on infection severity.
Is a crown necessary after root canal?
Yes. A crown protects the weakened tooth and restores function. Skipping the crown can lead to fracture or reinfection.
What are the alternatives to RCT?
The only alternative is tooth extraction, which may lead to further treatments like implants or bridges — costing more over time.
Can I delay root canal treatment?
Delaying treatment increases the risk of pain, swelling, abscess, and tooth loss. Early intervention is always better.
